I think we’ve all got “prison pallor’. The look you get when you haven’t been able to get out and about in the sun and air.

I’m usually quite rosy but am looking drawn at the mo.

L’Oreal do a pink tinted moisturiser that seems to help a bit. Don’t put it on at night though. It comes off on the pillow?

I was moisturising my face this morning and donning some lipstick. I decided I was probably trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear
I used to pretty but I am so so lined and wrinkled, can’t bear to look at myself or photos. Still I’m alive and well!
I do exfoliate etc.

Have you tried a face mask - moisturising and cleansing. Also occasionally using a defoliator. Don't use it every day as it is counter productive. I reckon the secret to a glowing skin is the cleansing not what you put on afterwards.

Short of plastic surgery how can I make my face look better?

My face looks really wan and dreary and I would like ti too look more glowing - but how? Is my routine incorrect or am I stick with it?

Currently, I use a serum, a highish factor moisturiser and a BB creme which used to be fine even if I didn't wear any make up. It's not working now!

Please help.
